Carmen giggled," well these things do look pretty old."

"Yeah," finally making it to the second floor and walked over to the closest door on the left. Bringing a bundle of keys on a chain out of her pocket, Jonah smiled reasurring Carmen not to be in any way uncomfortable. That was the last thing she wanted her to feel. Unlocking the door while pushing it open," ladies first, my dear." Jonah gestured her arm inside the apartment. At first, Carmen was hesitant about it, but seeing the look on Jonah’s face made her feel a little bit better about it all. Stepping over the threshold, she gazed around the beige colored walls, black leather furniture, and wooden floors. This seemed like a nicely furnished place, she didn’t understand how all the stuff was in this apartment complex from knowing how messed up the place was. And Jonah said that she was broke. Did she lie?

"So, um. This is my place. It’s not much but most of the furniture was brought in about a month ago. My great aunt passed away and all her furniture was passed down to me."

"Oh, I’m sorry," she said feeling like a total bitch for thinking that.

"No, that’s okay," she smirked while walking into the kitchen," she wasn’t my favorite aunt anyway. She was always acting so damned snobby around me, especially after I came out. I still don’t see why she gave me all of this. Must be her way of "redeeming" herself. Heh."

"Maybe," standing there like an idiot still in front of the door," do you want anything? I’ve got a couple of Smirnoffs and Mike Hards. Oh, okay. The first thing about my home, is that I don’t no body standing there like they’re lost. Come on, make yourself at home. S’not like I’m going to snap at you for sitting down." She sifted through the fridge while Carmen went to sit down on one of the leather couches.

"A Smirnoff will be fine. So, um," Jonah sat down beside her, handing her the drink while Jonah tip a swig of a Mike’s Hard." Yeah," they both said in this strange union. Laughing at themselves for being sort of stupid, Jonah reached for her remote while turning on her television set. Flipping through channels, they finally landed on Comedy Central with South Park. The both of them laughed, giggled, and almost cried sometimes at the show for over the next hour or so. By the time it was over, it was almost elevan o’clock. Carmen looked around then, expecting her to be booted out. But, not too surprisingly, Jonah didn’t mention anything about her leaving. They had finished their drinks half an hour ago, and seemed a little more relaxed then when they had came in. Jonah looked over at Carmen with a strange look in her eye, that kind of look that made her feel like they were undressing her with their eyes. She couldn’t stand that sort of look, the only reason was because that was the way Shane use to look at her.
